As you are all probably aware by now, the Backyard Monsters game will be going away from Gaia this Sunday. Unfortunately, this is a situation out of our control - the creator of the game has decided to no longer make it available to sites like ours (so this doesn't just affect Gaia). We're sorry to have to break this news to you - we know that many of you have grown to become big fans of the game.

This news has been rather sudden, and we don't have a lot of other detailed information for you at the moment (such as what will happen with any unspent in-game currency). We're working with Viximo, which helps us host the game, to answer those questions and will pass along any information we get. We're also working on bringing on another game to replace Backyard Monsters, in addition to our own fantasy game that is going into beta testing very soon.

Anyway, that is where we are at present. We know this is probably very frustrating for you, and we're so sorry about that, but want you to know we are working on getting this issue resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible.
